Preferred Hotels & Resorts has introduced a travel agent portal described as a “one-stop shop” that enables agents to book and track reservations and check commission in addition to other features.
The brand, which claims to be the world’s largest independent hotel brand, will offer priority access to more than 600 luxury hotels, resorts and residences through the portal.
Cheryl Williams (pictured), chief revenue officer for Preferred Travel Group, said: “We are proud to present this exciting new tool, which underscores our commitment to supporting the travel advisor community and enhancing their ability to provide the most unique and unforgettable travel experiences to their clients.”
The platform will allow for personalised confirmations, room rate details and included guest amenities based on agency affiliation.
Agents can also track their performance through the ‘My Insights’ section, which provides detailed statistics on active and past reservations, unique hotels booked, total revenue and total room nights booked.
Training material will also be available, allowing agents to learn more about the properties as well as the loyalty programme available to clients.
Williams added: “We believe this innovative platform will streamline agents’ workflow, making it easier to do business with us by simplifying the process of optimising all that Preferred Hotels & Resorts has to offer – and ultimately drive greater success for their businesses.”
